Hamden is a town full of all different people. It is predominantly middle class. The majority of kids in Hamden attend one of the many elementary schools and then move onto the middle school and the high school. The schooling system is highly frowned upon by other towns in the surrounding area such as Cheshire and North Haven. Those of the upper class will most definitely attend one of the more prestigious private schools in the area such as Hamden Hall, or even better Foote School or Hopkins located nearby in the rich neighborhoods of New Haven. Most H-Town kids are unaware of these school and think of Sacred Heart and Notre Dame as being the height of schooling, whereas they are no competition to the non-religious private schools that are much more expensive. Many white kids strive to be "preppy" but are no where as preppy as the private school crowd. The private school kids and true H-Towners are rarely together except when the private school kids are forced to attend events with them such as CCD or sports teams.
Despite everyone from other towns looking down on the schools, many H-Townies love their school. It is a school where everyone has a place. Kids from New Haven try to go there and often are looked down upon and are the source of fights and other brawl. Most kids from Hamden plan to move far away after high school, but always end up attending a public state university and then ending up right back in Hamden raising children who say the same thing.

Public school kids: Ahh! Sacred Heart is so hard! I have soo much homework and five D's!!
Private schooler: Such a typical kid from Hamden.
Queshawn: "Who are those girls? I've never seen them 'round the Glen before."
Boshai: "They must go to those private schools. They'd be better off living in a hood like Greenwich, not a dumpy town like Hamden."

Get the Hamdemic mug.Hampden-Sydney, educating underachieving, rich, wannabe preppies since 1776. HSC is Radford, VCU, JMU, or any other lower-tier university transformed into a country club setting. (For elaboration, see definition 9). Students who go to this school were unable to get into the 'real' schools (ie: W&L, UNC, UVA, etc.), so they decided to attend Hampden-Sydney, which seems to accept anyone with a pen, checkbook, and sizeable bank account. The statistic that 1 in 10 men become doctors, lawyers, or owners of their own business is beguiling, because 1 in 10 student's father already owns his own company! Non-conformists are discouraged, so that the school may continue its historic, neocon ways. Students are belligerently conservative, often choosing the Republican side while being unaware of the subeject of discussion. Warning: Not a good school for individuals who think outside of the box.
Professor: Roswell, is this word part of the ablative or dative clause?
Roswell: Sorry, ma'am, I was yeyed up last night with my chronies and didn't get around to doing my homework. Daddy's money will cover for my lack of education.
